Instead of the final episode of the School Days anime, TV Kanagawa showed footage of European nature set to classical music. This lead to the creation of a meme when somebody posted a comment saying Nice Boat. The boat that was shown is MF Skagastøl which is running between Flåm and Gudvangen in Nærøyfjorden here in Norway, so I went and had a look.

You can see this small village called Tufto to the left in shot from the footage.

MF Skagastøl leaving Flåm. The boat has been repainted a bit, but it has the same name sign at the top.

The company Fylkesbaatane has merged with several other companies over the years and has been known as Fjord1 since 2012.

View towards Gudvangen. I've marked a path between the boat ticket office in Gudvangen and Tufto in the map below.
